Marty was loved by many and will be greatly missed by her family, many friends and associates.

Marty was born Sept. 11, 1925, in Providence, R.I., to industrialist and former Philadelphia Museum of Art president J. Stogdell Stokes and his wife May. She spent her childhood on a farm in Abington, Pa., attended the Germantown Friends School in Germantown, Pa., and continued her education at Chatham Hall in Chatham, Va., from which she graduated in 1942. Later, while attending Bennington College in Vermont, she met John Sergeant Price whom she married on Dec. 18, 1943. John and Marty were married for 65 years.

After her husband returned from military service in World War II, Marty and John set about raising their family of four children, and Marty resumed her college studies at Bryn Mawr College. She graduated summa cum laude from Bryn Mawr in 1960 (Honorary Class of 1947) with a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in Geology.

Marty was a devoted mother who was actively engaged in the education and growth of her children, helping with homework, supporting their interests, and faithfully attending all high school sporting events. She was also devoted to the field of education, teaching science at the Haverford Friends School and later working as the director of resources at Bryn Mawr College from 1969 to 1978. During her work at the college, Marty served as the staff organizer for a successful $21 million capital campaign, and trained associates who later became development directors in several of Philadelphia's leading cultural organizations.

Continuing her support of education, Marty joined the board of trustees of Bryn Mawr College in 1981 after serving on the board of managers at Haverford College from 1969 to 1981. She also served as board chairwoman for Montgomery County Day School in Wynnewood, Pa., and served as volunteer chairwoman of the Park Houses guides of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, beginning a program that is active today.

Marty Price also pursued the interest of her father in collecting 18th-century American furniture, much of which will eventually go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Marty's unstinting generosity and philanthropy has benefited numerous additional organizations in the Philadelphia area, including The America Italy Society of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Orchestra, American Philosophical Society, Haverford Friends Meeting, area libraries and many other educational and cultural institutions.

Marty is survived by her husband, John Price; sons Nicholas and Philip Price; 12 grandchildren; and a great-grandson.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 25, in the Great Hall of the M. Carey Thomas Library at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pa.

In lieu of gifts and flowers, Marty's family would suggest continuing her spirit of philanthropy through contributions to the organizations mentioned above that she loved and supported.
